Wolves of Roma

Prince of Roma- Chapter 15

Chapter 15
---------------

Three days later....

7:50 AM

Nick stepped out of the pack house to be greeted by utter chaos.

"What the hell is happening here?" he demanded to no one in particular.

"Not sure alpha" one of his pack members responded. They all gathered to see the chaos.

The house assigned to the Roma wolves that they used as operations base was afoot with activity. No, not activity it was more like they were acting like the house was on fire. The way they were running out if it.

People were running out of the building their hands bundled with guns, armored vests and other equipment.

Men jumped in to the vehicles and pressed the metal to the pedal as the vehicles screamed in to life and lurched forward in maniacal speed.

Some more men pooled out of the house and shifted in to wolves, shredding their cloths and raced out of the pack territory.

Nick moved forward to one of the men.

"What the hell is happing?"

The man looked at the intrusion and was about to dismiss him when he recognized the alpha.

Nobody heard what the man told the alpha but as soon as he spoke the Roma wolf shifted and hightailed leaving a trail of dust behind him.

It took a minute to get his bearings together but Nick turned to his pack and shouted.

"Shift" He commanded to his pack members.

And one after the other they started shifting, heeding to the alpha command.

He himself shifted, without undressing. Destroying his clothes in the process as well.

Once shifted he let out a howl that tore through his pack territory as every wolf stopped what he or she was doing as the heard their alpha's call.

The call to heed. The call of war.

Something was very wrong.

Five minutes earlier
7:45 AM

Alex and Evelyn were sitting in the SUV being driven by one of the Roma guards, they were being driven to Joe's their regular breakfast joint before Alex dropped her off at school.

They had just started ten minutes before and had got out of the pack territory and heading towards to city where Evelyn's school was located. There was a twenty mile road from the pack to the city. They had just settled in on the road when the SUV in front of them slowed and their SUV followed suit.

They came to a standstill.

Alex tapped on the drivers shoulder "What happened?"

Before the driver could respond the two way radio which the driver carried came to life.

"We have a blockage on the road. A tree uprooted."

Alex frowned. Extended his hand to the driver indicating him to hand over the radio. Once in his hand he pressed the button to open a communication channel.

"Anything unusual?"

"Negative. Control" Came back the respond.

Control was a code name for a person in command of the unit and right now Alex was in command.
